WormMine: ExpressionPattern Expr1845

• Pattern: pmk-3 promoter is active throughout the intestine. An identical expression pattern was found with two independent reporter constructs of pmk-3; one fusion construct had GFP linked to the first three exons of pmk-3 (DA1750) and the other fused GFP to the last exon and contained 90% of the coding region of pmk-3.
• Primary Identifier: Expr1845
• Subcellular Localization: pmk-3::GFP localizes to the nuclei of intestinal cells. This nuclear localization was independent of growth conditions.

Definition	Name	Synonym	Primary Identifier
A chain of very large cuboidal cells forming a wide central lumen in which food arrives from the posterior pharynx, is digested, and from which waste products proceed to the rectum. Intestinal rings form in groups of two and four cells surrounding the common lumen; thus the epithelium is only one cell deep at any point, with neighboring cells firmly secured to their neighbors by apical adherens junctions. These cells have very large nuclei and many large vacuoles, yolk granules, and other inclusions; the latter increase in number and electron density as the animal ages.	intestine	gut	WBbt:0005772
